Data Privacy Week is an annual campaign to spread awareness about data privacy and educate individuals on how to secure their personal information.
All your online activity generates a trail of data. Websites, apps, and services collect data on your behaviors, interests, and purchases. Sometimes, this includes personal data, like your Social Security and driver’s license numbers. It can even include data about your physical self, like health data – think about how a smartwatch counts and records how many steps you take. Remember, your data is precious, and you deserve to be selective about who you share it with!
